18 Cringeworthy Fashion Accessories From the '80s

As a decade, the 1980s gave us a lot to be thankful for: the music of Michael Jackson and Madonna, and millennials like Mark Zuckerberg (born 1984) and Channing Tatum (born 1980) who've made our lives better with their technological inventions and really great abs.

Ah, the good ol' '80s. A simpler time when New Coke was all the rage, John Hughes movies were current, and Jordans were the only basketball player's sneaker on the market. The worst part of the '80s? Undeniably it was the fashion. This was a time when big hair, big jewelry, and bright colors were all the rage. And it was not always a flattering look.
